Clarification: A few complaints about some of the links or the website not working. The reason is the rugby site is actually under TWO addresses. The correct one is: http://clubrugby.wlu.edu

Please from now on only access the above address.

Rugger Auction: Want to get the secrets of Argentine Tino Tovo's Latin charm, Springbko Jock Wols'sexy accent and Rory Dowling's broken nose? Or Mike Baker's workout routine after watching trampling all over those VMI cadets (and prove that W&L men have always been and forever will be manlier)? Do you sometimes wonder how George Craft can be a man to all the ladies and at the same time, a lady to all the men? Do you believe your eyes when Ryan Duffy takes down Charlie Kimborough when Duffy is smaller than my 80 year old grandma in Hong Kong? Or get my two cents on going through the horrors of squeezing my head next to Eric Sprow's 50' buttocks and 'bonding' with John Schaufele's infamous hairless legs all season long? Ladies and gentlemen, the annual rugby auction will open on 18th May (Tuesday) till 20th May (Thursday) in front of the Commons. If you want to own, I mean literally, figuratively and colloquially, the finest ruggers ever walked this planet, your prayer is answered.
